Waiting on lambs

for the snow, we are suppose to get warmer by the end of the week

Feeling udders on the two 2nd timers, I think I felt a wee bit of udder on some of the 1st timers, too!
=0 There might be sooo many lambs bouncing around soon!

Nice, Our ewe is due possibly next week! We should have babies at the same time..

Our ewe hates if I feel her udder

Its so exciting Im like bursting at the seams!

They were eating and I sneaked up around them, lol! Shelly kicked at me.

Ughhh, the waiting is seriously stressing me out!
I bet they will lamb as soon as I leave for town one of these days!

I'm stressed out to lamb watch starts next week!

That's the best time to lamb... when owner is on their way out the door.

Saw Blanka's lambs kicking yesterday!
Snow is finally melting away! Sheep haven't seen nor eaten nor wandered the pastures in over 3wks! They were so glad to see the ground!
Previous lambing dates-

Lambee had her first lamb last year on 4-23.
Shelly had her first lamb last year on 3-08.
My two old girls had the other dates, soonest on the 4th.
Ugh, its so random!! lol
But I did control when the rams were with the ewes this fall. And the first two soonest possible dates have now passed (4th & 8th), unless they have lambs tonight.

Finally put in my order for the marking harness and crayons.
Unfortunately....I didn't realize I needed two harnesses until I typed the previous sentence.....ugh, crud!

We will be having lambs close too eachother! Lamb watch for our girl starts tommorow!

We have our first lamb of the season!!
And not at all from whom I thought it would be!
Periwinkle had a black ewe lamb!
DOB 4:50PM on March 9th, 2015!

Hopefully, she will find the teats just fine on her own by morning! Helped her for the first 4 sips.
